India Makes it 7-0 Against Arch-Rivals Pakistan in World Cups.
Manchester in Old trafford Witnessed one of the most anticipated contests in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019.
On the very much overcast conditions and the possibility of drizzle sarfraz ahmad won the toss and put india to bat with a possibility of getting much help for the seamers unlike moisture in the wicket, but soon this decision was proved wrong by the opening duo of KL Rahul and Rohit Sharma. The duo put on the Century stand for the opening wicket with Pakistan missing couple of easy run-out chances. Rohit sharma blasted yet another century of this year's event and this one was very much important which comes at a very much neede time. Rohit Sharma went on to make crucial 140 runs before being dismissed by Wahab Riaz. Lokesh Rahul aslo Provided a great support with 57 runs. Virat Kohli also made a vital contribution to the total with a handy 77. Virat kohli got unlucky when he actually didn't knicked one to the wicket-keeper of the bowling of Amir. In the death overs of the indian innings pakistan bowlers managed to make some comeback with a couple of wickets. Some rain interruptions and brisk play in the last overs indian team managed to build a mighty total of 336-5 in the alloted 50 overs.
The Pakistan team who has lost all its previous 6 matches against the india in world cups maintain some reputation even after that score-line because everyone out there knows that they can stun everyone on their good day. Against india they always crumble in the pressure situation.
Chasing a mamoth 337 Pakistan start was never too impressive. India suffered a blow when Bhuvneshwar was injured and was declared unfit for the rest of the game. Vijay shankar who replaced his bowling Immediately got rid of imam ul haq on the team score of 13,after that babar azam and fakhar zaman joined and kept the Pakistan in run chase. They both contributed with 104 run stand before the Pakistani batting collapse started. Pakistan batting order slumped from 117-1 to 129-5 with maximum damage done by the googlies of kuldeep yadav. Hardik pandya also provided a great Support with two succesive wickets of hafeez and malik.With Rain threat and required run rate mounting pakistan lost momentum and were 166-6 in 35 overs when rain came with another interruption. That time Pakistan was already done and dusted with 88 run lagging behind the par score.
The Rain stopped after that with target re-adjusted for Pakistan 302 in 40 overs which means pakistan needed 136 in last 30 balls. A task was done from the indian prospect, Pakistan finished on 212/6 in 40 overs which means they lost to india for the record seventh time by 89 runs. Such an embarrassing moment for the Pakistan fans that was. From now on Pakistan need to win all its remaining four matches if they need to stay in hunt for the race of semi finalists.
